Yeah I mean this is the same story with almost every “self made” person who also had the benefit of starting out really wealthy, and now in our social media driven world, any reasonably attractive young man or woman with famous parents (aka why every model nowadays is the offspring of famous parents). But even with…

Also this is funny because figuring out the proper “tipout” between the bar and the floor (between bartenders and servers—not “waitress” as the article refers to them, btw) is always a hot button issue in any restaurant or bar. Typically the bar keeps all of their own tips from sales made at the bar, and then the…

It’s probably not a bad idea—having any organization as large and sprawling as DHS is typically an organizational nightmare, especially when one division is dedicated to law enforcement and the others are not/shouldn’t be.

When your political philosophy is basically “owning the libs” (at least that’s what energizing most of his voters), creating drama is always the point. Even worse, as more and more bad behavior becomes normalized, even worse things have to be done to create the same level of drama and outrage.

All of that “putting latinx children in cages” business got her hankering for some guac and spicy margs? Is she just oblivious to the optics of the situation, or is this just another sly (and effective) attempt at “owning the libs”? Perhaps there’s an innocent explanation for all of this—maybe she just wanted to…

There are many parts of the Trump administration’s policies that, although I don’t like them, aren’t necessarily problematic, at least in a “crossing the Rubicon” sense (like the tax cut—which was foolish, unnecessary and will come back to bite us, but perhaps not all that different than when Dubya did it—and we lived…

While the priorities are often different, not all businesses are run with the sole focus on the bottom line. Although the bottom line is important (and typically most important) there are companies that also place their employees’ wellbeing and environmental stewardship very high on their list of priorities. Often…

Schultz at least seems like a decent person with some sense of humility, and has experience running a very large organization well. He has a history of hiring other competent people to perform necessary roles. He seems like someone who is always trying to do better, even if it doesn’t always work out (like that…

I’m guessing that his real gripe is that these chads and beckys are going to (try to) turn the neighborhood he lives in into Williamsburg, which is a real concern when a bunch of finance and tech bros move into your neighborhood. However, I’d expect better writing from a professor.

It’s also worth mentioning that former Philadelphia DA R. Seth Williams is now a felon himself, and is serving time.

Rudy wasn’t so popular in NYC on 9/10—but 9/11 and after he was either a good leader or appeared to be a good leader at one of the most difficult times in our city and country (unless he royally fucked things up, nobody was gonna criticize him anyway). However, it hasn’t really done much for him, long term—Mayor is…

Everybody remember that the NFL is a business, albeit a protected monopoly that does not pay taxes (the teams do, but the league doesn’t). They also charge the military to appear at NFL games, which seems like a “bad deal” that Trump might want to renegotiate, in addition to the whole not paying taxes thing.

Cars I’ve seen Trump driving:

I wouldn’t be surprised if his post presidency truly begins after the forthcoming book and netflix shows—both of which could certainly serve as a platform to reach large segments of the population and get his ideas out there again. I wish Obama were still president, but I also respect that he hasn’t been getting too…

There are few 100% solutions to any problem out there, and guns are no different. It’s not about stopping school shootings entirely. Although that would be great, it can’t be the yardstick by which every proposal is measured. It’s only a good yardstick if the goal is to do nothing. If we were to treat this like a…

Nixon is definitely on the right side of a lot of issues as far as the liberal wing of the Democratic party is concerned, but whether or not she can actually accomplish anything given the realities of NY State politics is something else altogether. Not to mention that she has the tremendous benefit of not having a…

Did this guy not go to high school or something? Unless his parents made him take Latin, “because the SATs”, he should have taken at least a few years of Spanish class (although if his HS offered German, you can bet he took that instead).

What you may or may not know about Publix (perhaps HamNo can fill you in—pretty sure he’s from FL), is that if Publix ran for governor of Florida, it would win in a landslide. Publix is great—especially their many varieties of fried chicken and wings that are all boxed up and ready to be eaten in your car while stuck…

I guess this is the only way in which Norms are being maintained in Trump’s America
